MEL VILJOEN INTRODUCES DIAMOND NAILS 

The Tammy Taylor Nails SA founder Mel Viljoen held a diamond nails session for the Real Housewives van Pretoria ladies. She was also joined by Kelly Khumalo’s attorney Magdalene Moonsamy.

“I hold the worldwide patent for installing diamonds into nails. So I decided one day that diamonds in nails would be fabulous and I hoped that everyone else thought the same,” she said on the latest episode of Real Housewives van Pretoria.

Mel went on to reveal that they have sold sets of nails for a whopping R100 000.

“So, we have sold sets of R100 000 per set of nails,” she continued. 

The reality star’s husband, former notorious lawyer Peet Viljoen then made a dramatic entrance along with bodyguards… into his own home with the diamonds.

“I brought genuine diamonds for those who want them,” said Peet.
